Pulley Plank With Downward Pull

Video coming soon...

The pulley plank with downward pull is a challenging exercise that primarily targets the Lats and Triceps.

By using a pulley system, the exercise intensifies the engagement of these muscles, promoting strength and stability.

The pulley allows for a controlled downward pull, activating the Lats and Triceps throughout the movement.

While other muscles may be involved, the pulley’s primary role is to target and strengthen the Lats and Triceps.

Stand facing the pulley machine, with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Grasp the handle of the pulley with both hands, palms facing downwards.
Walk back a few steps to create tension in the cable, keeping your arms extended in front of you.
Engage your core and maintain a straight line from your head to your heels.
Lower your body down into a plank position, keeping your back straight and your elbows slightly bent.
From the plank position, pull the handle towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
Return to the starting position by extending your arms back out in front of you, maintaining the plank position.

Focus on your form: Start by positioning yourself in a high plank position, with your hands gripping the pulley handles and your feet hip-width apart. Engage your core and keep your body in a straight line from head to toe.
Activate your lats: As you lower your body towards the ground, imagine squeezing your shoulder blades together and pulling your elbows back. This will help you engage your lats, the muscles on the sides of your back, and maximize the benefits of the exercise.
Engage your triceps: To target your triceps, the muscles on the back of your upper arms, focus on keeping your elbows close to your body throughout the movement. This will ensure that your triceps are doing the majority of the work and help you build strength in this area.
Breathe and control the movement: Remember to inhale as you lower your body towards the ground and exhale as you push yourself back up. This controlled breathing pattern will not only help you maintain focus but also provide your muscles with the oxygen they need to perform at their best.
Challenge yourself gradually: As an intermediate fitness enthusiast, it’s important to continue challenging yourself to see progress. Increase the resistance on the pulley gradually or try performing the exercise on an unstable surface, like a Bosu ball, to further engage your core and
